REGULATIONS  FOR  ENLISTED  RESERVE  CORPS 

UNDER  ACT  OF  CONGRESS  APPROVED  JUNE  3,  1916. 


COMPOSITION. 

1.  (a)  The  sections  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  shall  be 
designated  as  follows : 

(1)  Engineer  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps. 

(2)  Signal  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps. 

(3)  Quartermaster  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps. 

(4)  Ordnance  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps. 

(5)  Medical  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps. 

(&)  The  enlisted  grades  in  each  of  the  above  sections  will 
be  the  same  as  authorized  for  the  corresponding  corps  or  de¬ 
partment  of  the  Regular  Army.  The  number  that  may  be  en¬ 
listed  in  or  promoted  to  each  grade  of  each  corps  or  department 
will  not  exceed  three  times  the  number  authorized  for  the  cor¬ 
responding  grade  of  the  same  corps  or  department  of  the  Regu¬ 
lar  Army  at  maximum  authorized  strength,  except  that  the 
number  in  the  grade  of  private  is  not  limited. 

ENLISTMENT. 

2.  Enlistments  for  each  section  wTill  be  secured  from  among 
men  who  are  citizens  of  the  United  States  or  who  have  declared 
their  intention  to  become  such,  and  whose  occupations  in  civil 
life  particularly  qualify  them  for  service  in  one  of  the  above 
sections,  or  who  are  otherwise  so  qualified.  Recruits  for  each 
section  will  ordinarily  be  obtained  by  Regular  Army  officers 
belonging  to  the  staff  department  concerned  who  have  been 
selected  for  this  purpose  by  the  chief  thereof;  but  officers  of 
other  arms  and  departments  may  obtain  recruits  when  author¬ 
ized  to  do  so  by  such  chief.  The  actual  enlistments  will  be 
made  by  an  officer  of  the  Regular  Army  recruiting  service,  or.

EN LISTED  RESERVE  CORPS. 


if  no  such  service  is  conducted  at  the  station  of  the  officer 
who  obtains  the  recruits,  they  will  be  made  by  him.  However, 
when  a  large  number  of  recruits  is  to  be  enlisted  at  any  place, 
the  department  commander  may  detail  a  medical  officer  or  a 
medical  reserve  officer  to  make  the  enlistments  upon  the  request 
of  the  chief  of  the  staff  corps  or  department  concerned. 

3.  The  chief  of  each  corps  and  department  will  prescribe  the 
qualifications  requisite  for  enlistment  in  each  authorized  grade 
of  his  section  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  and  will  furnish 
each  officer  selected  to  secure  recruits  with  a  copy  of  the  quali¬ 
fications  prescribed  and  with  special  instructions  regarding  the 
number  and  grades  of  men  he  is  authorized  to  enlist.  By  oral 
and  practical  examination  and  examination  of  the  documentary 
evidence  submitted  or  available  the  officer  detailed  to  secure 
recruits  will  ascertain  the  grade  for  which  the  applicant  may 
foe  qualified  and  if  found  qualified  for  a  noncommissioned  grade 
above  the  grade  of  sergeant  the  officer  will  so  report  to  the  chief 
of  the  proper  corps  or  department,  who,  if  he  approves  the 
recommendation,  will  authorize  the  enlistment.  Subject  to  his 
general  instructions,  an  officer  selected  to  secure  recruits  may 
authorize  enlistments  in  the  grades  of  private,  corporal,  and 
sergeant  without  securing  approval  in  each  particular  case. 

4.  If  otherwise  qualified,  married  men  may  be  enlisted  or  re¬ 
enlisted  in  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  without  reference  to 
higher  authority  unless  the  circumstances  appear  to  be  such  as 
would  probably  result  in  application  for  discharge  because  of 
dependent  relative  should  the  man  be  ordered  to  active  service 
with  the  Regular  Army. 

5.  The  physical  examination  of  applicants  for  enlistment  will 
conform  to  that  prescribed  for  the  Regular  Army  except  that 
the  age  limits  for  enlistment  in  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  will 
be  from  18  to  45  years. 

6.  An  applicant  for  enlistment  or  reenlistment  in  the  En¬ 
listed  Reserve  Corps  at  any  post,  camp,  arsenal,  or  station  where 
there  is  a  medical  officer,  medical  reserve  officer,  or  contract 
surgeon  will  be  physically  examined  by  him  before  enlistment. 
At  a  place  where  there  is  no  medical  officer,  medical  reserve 
officer,  or  contract  surgeon  the  physical  examination  preceding 
enlistment  will  be  made  by  the  officer  who  is  to  enlist  the  man 
and  will  be  similar  to  that  required  for  the  acceptance  of  re¬ 
cruits  at  stations,  the  report  of  examination  being  entered  on 
that  part  of  the  form  provided  for  “  Physical  examination  at 
place  of  acceptance.”  (See  par.  35.)

7.  Enlistments  and  reenlistments  will  be  for  a  period  of  four 
years. 

ASSIGNMENT  TO  ORGANIZATIONS, 

8.  The  enlisted  personnel  in  each  section  of  the  Enlisted  Re¬ 
serve  Corps  may  be  attached  individually  or  by  detachments, 
as  reserves  to  organizations  of  the  Regular  Army,  or  they  may 
be  organized  into  special  units  appropriate  to  the  various  corps 
or  departments.  The  chief  of  each  corps  or  department  will 
recommend  to  the  Secretary  of  War  the  number  and  appropriate 
assignment  or  organization  of  such  units. 

9.  Upon  the  recommendation  of  the  chief  of  the  corps  or  de¬ 
partment  concerned  suitable  officers  for  the  various  units  au¬ 
thorized  by  the  Secretary  of  War  will  be  detailed  so  far  as 
practicable  from  the  appropriate  section  of  the  Officers’  Reserve 
Corps.  In  like  manner,  regular  officers  of  suitable  grade  may 
also  be  detailed  for  duty  with  units  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve 
Corps  of  size  sufficient  to  warrant  such  detail. 

PROMOTIONS. 

10.  Whenever  in  any  organization  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve 
Corps  a  vacancy  shall  occur  in  any  grade  above  that  of  sergeant 
the  organization  commander  shall  so  inform  the  chief  of  the 
corps  or  department  concerned  and  shall  recommend  whether 
said  vacancy  be  filled  by  enlistment  or  by  promotion  of  a  suit¬ 
able  candidate  recommended  by  the  organization  commander. 
The  decision  of  the  chief  of  the  corps  or  department  will  then 
be  communicated  to  the  organization  commander,  who,  in  case 
the  vacancy  is  to  be  filled  by  promotion,  will  make  note  of  the 
promotion  upon  the  certificate  of  enlistment  of  the  reservist  pro¬ 
moted.  Promotions  to  vacancies  in  the  grades  of  corporal  and 
sergeant  may  be  made  by  the  organization  commander  without 
reference  to  higher  authority.  Notification  of  each  promotion 
or  reduction  will  be  sent  to  the  department  commander,  who 
will  have  proper  entry  made  on  the  reservist’s  descriptive  card 
at  his  headquarters  and  forward  the  letter  of  notification  to 
The  Adjutant  General  of  the  Army. 

ADMINISTRATION  AND  TRAINING. 

11.  For  purposes  of  administration,  training,  and  equipment, 
organizations  and  individual  members  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve

ENLISTED  RESERVE  CORPS. 


manding  general  of  the  territorial  department  in  which  they 
reside. 

12.  In  so  far  as  funds  allotted  for  such  purpose  will  permit, 
department  commanders  are  authorized  to  order  organizations 
and  members  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  of  their  depart¬ 
ments  to  duty  with  troops  in  the  field  or  at  field  exercises  or 
for  instruction  for  periods  not  to  exceed  15  days  in  any  one 
calendar  year.  With  the  consent  of  such  enlisted  men  and 
within  the  limits  of  funds  available  for  such  purpose,  such 
periods  of  active  service  may  be  extended  for  such  number  of 
enlisted  men  as  may  be  deemed  necessary. 

,  13.  Such  organizations  or  individual  members  of  the  Enlisted 
Reserve  Corps  as  are  not  thus  called  out  by  the  commanders 
of  military  departments  as  provided  above  may,  in  so  far  as 
funds  allotted  for  such  purpose  will  permit,  be  ordered  to  duty 
as  recommended  by  the  chief  of  the  appropriate  corps  or  de¬ 
partment  for  instruction  for  periods  not  to  exceed,  except  with 
the  consent  of  the  members  concerned,  15  days  in  any  calendar 
year. 

14.  The  objects  of  this  annual  training  are  (1)  to  verify  the 
number  and  determine  physical  and  moral  fitness  of  reservists 
for  service  in  war;  (2)  to  eliminate  the  undesirable  and  those 
not  dependable  in  time  of  war;  (3)  to  familiarize  reservists 
with  methods  to  be  followed  if  mobilized  in  time  of  war  or 
threatened  hostilities;  (4)  to  perfect  the  organization  of  the 
authorized  units  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps;  and  (5)  to 
instruct  the  reservists  in  the  fundamentals  of  military  service 
and  so  far  as  may  be  necessary  in  the  particular  duties  of  their 
corps  or  department. 

15.  When  summoned  for  annual  field  training  (Form  574, 
A.  G.  O.),  each  member  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps,  as  soon 
as  practicable  after  reporting  personally  under  such  summons, 
will  be  examined  physically  by  a  medical  officer  on  duty  at  the 
place  of  field  training.  In  case  he  is  found  to  be  physically  dis¬ 
qualified  for  the  kind  of  service  that  would  be  required  of  him 
in  time  of  war,  he  will  at  once  be  relieved  from  further  field 
training  and  furnished  with  transportation  and  subsistence  to 
the  place  from  which  he  was  summoned.  Steps  will' be  taken 
for  his  discharge  on  certificate  of  disability  in  accordance  with 
existing  instructions  governing  discharge  for  disability  of  a 
soldier  of  the  Regular  Army  subject  to  the  limitations  set  forth 
in  paragraph  31  of  these  regulations.

the  same,  be  subject  to  the  laws  and  regulations  for  the  gov¬ 
ernment  of  the  Army  of  the  United  States.  For  willful  failure

cate  of  enlistment.

ing.  The  articles  supplied  Regular  Army  organizations  as  a 
portion  of  their  unit  equipment  will  not  be  used  for  such  pur¬ 
pose.  The  value  of  any  articles  lost  or  rendered  unserviceable

ment  commander  shall  direct  until  the  reservist  reports  for  his 
next  period  of  training,  when  they  will  be  reissued  to  him.  The 


12 


ENLISTED  RESERVE  CORPS. 


same  procedure  will  continue  until  the  reservist  completes  the 
last  period  of  training  of  his  four-year  enlistment,  at  which  time 
his  uniform,  on  being  turned  in,  will  be  shipped  to  the  nearest

initial  and  yearly  clothing  allowance,  authorized  by  Army  Regu¬ 
lations  and  announced  in  orders  from  the  War  Department  for* 
enlisted  men  of  his  grade  in  the  Regular  Army.  This  will  be-

articles  the  article  so  lost  or  destroyed  shall  be  replaced  by  issue 
to  the  reservist  and  the  value  thereof  deducted  from  any  pay 
due  or  to  become  due  him  unless  it  shall  be  made  to  appear  that 
such  loss  or  destruction  was  not  due  to  neglect  or  other  fault 
on  his  part.  Any  clothing  issued  to  enlisted  men  of  the  En¬ 
listed  Reserve  Corps  which  shall  have  become  unserviceable 
through  ordinary  wear  and  tear  in  the  service  of  the  United

the  actual,  necessary  cost  of  such  transportation.  However, 
they  should  be  furnished  transportation  in  kind  for  this  travel 
when  practicable.  They  are  also  entitled  to  pay  and  allqwances

after  reporting  at  the  training  camp  or  designated  rendezvous 
he  will  be  paid  commutation  of  rations  at  the  rate  of  50  cents 
per  meal  for  the  time  necessarily  consumed  in  travel  from  his

will  be  issued  by  the  proper  officer,  using  War  Department 
Form  No.  370,  on  which  the  reservist  will  be  credited  with  all 
amounts  due  him  as  pay  and  allowances,  including  any  amount

Transportation  in  kind  will  be  furnished  to  their  homes,  which 
fact  should  be  noted  on  the  pay  rolls. 

The  following  remarks  will  be  entered  on  these  rolls :

31.  Members  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  may  become  en¬ 
titled  to  pensions  through  physical  disability  incurred  in  line  of 
duty  during  such  field  training,  or  while  traveling  under  orders 
to  or  from  designated  places  of  duty,  but  such  service  confers 
no  right  to  retirement  or  retired  pay.  Each  reservist  who  in¬ 
curs  any  accident  or  sickness  while  attending  such  training  will 
be  carefully  examined  before  being  sent  to  his  home  and  the 
result  noted  on  his  descriptive  card  or  record.

32.  Transportation  of  members  or  organizations  of  the  En¬ 
listed  Reserve  Corps  to  and  from  designated  places  of  training*

18 


ENLISTED  RESERVE  CORPS. 


bers  and  at  such  times  as  may  be  considered  necessary,  and 
may  thereafter  retain  it,  or  any  part  thereof,  in  active  service 
for  such  period  as  he  may  determine  the  conditions  demand. 
While  on  such  service  members  of  said  corps  shall  exercise 
command  appropriate  to  their  several  grades  and  rank  in  the 
organizations  to  which  they  shall  be  assigned,  and  shall  be 
entitled  to  the  pay  and  allowances  of  the  corresponding  grades 
of  the  Regular  Army,  with  increase  of  pay  for  length  of  active 
service  as  now  allowed  by  law.

notified  that,  by  direction  of  the  President,  the  Enlisted  Re¬ 
serve  Corps,  or  a  certain  portion  thereof,  is  to  be  mobilized, 
will,  in  the  absence  of  any  instructions  as  to  the  disposition  of 
individuals  or  units  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps,  direct  each 
member  or  organization  commander  concerned,  by  notice  mailed 
to  his  last  reported  address  (Form  577,  A.  G.  O.),  to  report

any  places  previously  designated  for  the  deposit  of  arms,  cloth¬ 
ing,  equipment,  etc.  Such  places  will  preferably  be  Regular 
Army  stations,  officers  on  duty  at  which  will  be  charged  with 
accountability  and  responsibility  for  the  property  necessary  to 
arm,  equip,  and  clothe  designated  units.  If  storage  in  Gov¬ 
ernment  buildings  be  practicable  at  places  other  than  Regular 
Army  stations,  such  arms,  clothing,  and  equipment  may  be 
stored  therein,  under  care  of  active  or  retired  officers  or  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  Officers’  Reserve  Corps  charged  with  accountability 
and  responsibility  for  such  property.

departments  of  the  Government  of  the  United  States  may  be 
utilized  for  the  mobilization  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps.  In 
addition  to  the  mail  notice  sent  to  each  reservist  or  organization 
commander  under  paragraph  45,  the  officer  in  charge  of  re¬ 
servists’  records  may  request  United  States  marshals,  post-

masters,  census  enumerators,  internal-revenue  agents,  and  rep¬ 
resentatives  of  the  General  Land  Office,  Geological  Survey, 
Forest  Service,  Weather  Bureau,  and  other  bureaus  to  notify 
all  reservists  who  can  be  reached  by  them  that  mobilization 
has  been  directed  by  the  President. 

48.  Officers  in  charge  of  reservists’  records  are  authorized  to 
insert  notices  of  mobilization  in  daily  newspapers,  and,  within 
the  limits  of  allotments  made  for  such  purpose,  to  pay  for  ad¬ 
vertisement  of  such  mobilization  wherever  necessary,  with 
warning  that  any  reservist  who  has  not  received  orders  where 
to  report  should  apply  to  department  or  other  headquarters  for 
orders. 

49.  After  directing  a  reservist  to  report  at  a  designated  place 
under  mobilization,  the  officer  in  charge  of  his  record  will  mail 
his  service  record  to  the  officer  to  whom  the  reservist  is  di¬ 
rected  to  report.  If  a  reservist  fails  to  comply  within  a  rea¬ 
sonable  time,  such  fact  will  be  noted  and  the  service  record 
returned  whence  it  came. 

50.  Subject  to  instructions  from  the  War  Department,  depart¬ 
ment  commanders  may  attach  officers  of  the  Regular  Army, 
including  retired  officers  employed  on  active  duty  under  sec¬ 
tion  24  of  the  act  of  June  3,  1916,  and  members  of  the  Officers’ 
Reserve  Corps  under  their  orders  on  mobilization  to  detach¬ 
ments  and  units  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  until  notice  of 
any  other  assignment  to  duty  of  such  officers  by  the  President 
has  been  received. 

51.  Whether  members  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  are 
organized  into  units  of  any  corps  or  department  or  are  assigned 
to  particular  organizations  of  the  Regular  Army,  they  will  be 
armed,  equipped,  and  clothed  for  field  service  according  to  the 
corps  or  department  to  which  they  pertain  before  being  for¬ 
warded  from  the  places  at  which  mobilized. 

52.  If  a  member  of  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  after  report¬ 
ing  for  duty  under  mobilization  be  found  physically  unfit  for 
service,  action  similar  to  that  prescribed  in  paragraph  15  will 
be  taken,  except  that  he  may  be  held  at  place  of  mobilization 
pending  action  upon  recommendation  of  discharge. 

53.  Every  man  enlisted  in  the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  will 
be  furnished  by  the  recruiting  officer  with  a  copy  of  these  regula¬ 
tions  for  his  information  and  guidance.
